Carrot Soup in Valheim: Recipe, Stats, and Why It's a Black Forest Staple
A bowl of Carrot Soup adds 15 health and 45 stamina for 1,500 seconds — 25 minutes — with 2 hp healed per tick. It is a Black Forest-tier food cooked in a level 1 Cauldron, and the wiki singles it out for one specific reason: it provides "the highest stamina gain in the Black Forest at 45." This guide breaks down the full stat block, the two-ingredient recipe behind it, and the handful of fields the source leaves undocumented.
Carrot Soup at a Glance
The wiki's infobox gives a full stat block for the item:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | +15 |
| Stamina | +45 |
| Duration | 1,500 seconds (25 minutes) |
| Healing | 2 hp per tick |
| Weight | 1.0 |
| Stack size | 10 |
| Teleportable | Yes |
In-game item description, quoted directly from the source: "A warm tasty soup made of mostly carrots."
That "Teleportable: Yes" line is worth flagging — Valheim blocks several raw materials through portals, but a finished Carrot Soup carries through without a boat run. A stack size of 10 and weight of 1.0 also make it cheap to haul a full food loadout across biomes in one trip.
The Recipe
The source is precise about the station requirement. Quoted directly: "Carrot soup is produced in a level 1 Cauldron with: 3 Carrot, 1 Mushroom." So the full recipe is:
- Carrot x3
- Mushroom x1
Both ingredients are Black Forest forage items, and the station requirement is the base level 1 Cauldron — no upgrade path needed. That's exactly why this recipe tends to come online early: a player doesn't need to clear a boss or build a smelter first, just find carrots and mushrooms and get a Cauldron up.
Why It's Worth Cooking
The wiki's Notes section states plainly: "Carrot soup provides the highest stamina gain in the Black Forest at 45." That's not a relative claim against one or two named competitors — it's stated as the ceiling for the entire biome. Paired with the 25-minute duration and a 10-item stack, a single Cauldron session can produce enough soup to cover a long foraging or mining run through the Black Forest without a return trip to re-cook.
The 15 health and 2 hp/tick healing are modest next to that stamina figure, which fits the pattern of a stamina-focused food rather than a tank food — built for characters who need to keep swinging, digging, or running rather than ones prioritizing raw HP.
The Duration in Context
The infobox lists duration as 1,500 seconds. Converted to a unit you'd actually plan around: 1,500 ÷ 60 = 25 minutes — enough to cover a full Black Forest excursion without needing to re-eat partway through.
The healing rate is listed as 2 hp per tick, but the source does not specify how long a "tick" lasts in seconds, so the total hit points regenerated across the full 25-minute buff can't be computed from this data alone — that figure is undocumented here and shouldn't be estimated from a tick length pulled from elsewhere. The infobox's buy/sell price fields and its "effect" field are also both blank in the source, meaning there's no confirmed vendor price and no secondary status effect beyond the stats already listed above.
Practical tips
- 15 health, 45 stamina, 1,500 seconds (25 min) — the full stat line, straight from the infobox.
- Cook it at a level 1 Cauldron with 3 Carrot and 1 Mushroom.
- Teleportable — no portal-free supply run needed to carry a stock of these.
- Highest stamina gain in the Black Forest, per the wiki's own wording — the biome ceiling, not just a strong option.
- 1,500 seconds = 25 minutes (1,500 ÷ 60), enough for most single Black Forest outings.
- Tick length in seconds, buy/sell price, and any secondary effect aren't covered by this source — treat all three as unconfirmed until checked elsewhere.
Running your own Valheim server
A Black Forest-tier recipe like this one assumes a base that's already stocked with a Cauldron and a steady carrot-and-mushroom supply — infrastructure that's easiest to keep running when the world itself never goes offline. A gamever Valheim server keeps that Cauldron, your farm plots, and your food stores live for up to 10 players without depending on one person hosting from their own PC. One-click backups protect the base you built to get this far, and automatic updates keep everyone on the same patch without manual syncing.
Conclusion
Carrot Soup is a Black Forest-tier Cauldron food — level 1 Cauldron, 3 Carrot + 1 Mushroom — that delivers +15 health, +45 stamina, 1,500 seconds (25 minutes, from 1,500 ÷ 60) of duration, and 2 hp of healing per tick. The wiki calls out its stamina figure specifically as the highest available in the Black Forest, which makes it a strong first cooked meal for anyone still working through that biome. The tick length behind the 2 hp/tick figure, its buy/sell pricing, and any secondary effect are all undocumented in this source and worth checking separately before planning a precise healing budget around them.
